Stay Aware

Stay Aware
By Tione Thrift

They don’t run, they don’t hide
Their chains are invisible on this perilous ride
In reality their dreams are like a mirage across the sand
They are deceived by the lies of the barren land
At first there are no thoughts of escape
But they soon fall victim to their fate
Tricked by the prospect of fortune and fame
They lose their identity, they lose their name
So close to freedom, but yet so far away
Wishing for freedom, wishing for that glorious day
A lack of awareness keeps this evil alive
They need us to be aware in order to survive
